Abstract: A foam transfer device is described, for use with aerosol canister apparatus for producing a sclerosant foam for the treatment of, inter alia, varicose veins. The device enables diversion of an initial quantity of below-specification foam from the canister to waste, e.g. to an integral waste chamber, before dispensing a further quantity of foam for use in treatment. The switching of the flow from the waste chamber to a different outlet for use is accomplished without interrupting the flow from the aerosol canister since this would cause the foam to drop below specification again. The waste chamber may be transparent so that the foam entering it can be observed and a decision made by a user when to stop diverting foam to waste. Alternatively, the foam may be diverted automatically e.g. when a set time has elapsed or a set volume of foam dispensed. The foam for use is normally dispensed into a syringe for subsequent injection into a varicose vein of a patient.

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus is capable of increasing data capacity that can be transmitted and reducing power consumption by reducing the amount of control signal to be transmitted, and capable of increasing system capacity by reducing interference with respect to other wireless communication apparatuses.  In this apparatus, control information extraction section (105) extracts information indicating the number of CQI's contained in control information.  Reception quality measuring sections (113-1 to 113-n) measure reception quality of each sub-carrier within a communication band.  CQI generating section (114) generates CQI's for some of the sub-carriers of superior reception quality within the communication band.  Multiplexer (122) multiplexes CQI's, sub-carrier number information generating the CQI's, and ACK signals or NACK signals.  The SC selecting section (127) then selects the number of sub-carriers from a base station apparatus of superior reception quality allocated using the CQI quantity designation information.
